Possibly might have some orphaned property in AD that Exchange is querying during the mailbox creation. I would query your AD to see if there are any references of any store information in AD. Export all information for your exchange config partition in AD, then search through the text file for the name of the store that shows up when you create a mailbox. ldifde -f c:\exchange.txt -d "CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=fabrikom,DC=com" -p subtree James Chong (MVP) MCSE | M+, S+, MCTS, Security+ msexchangetips.blogspot.com ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of James Lilly Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 3:31 PM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Weird AD/Exchange issue One of my clients has a weird issue: This is an Exchange Server 2003 server, and whenever we go to add a new user through AD Users and Computers, an old Exchange 5.5 server and Private Information Store shows up. I see nothing in Exchange System Manager referencing the new server, and if you try to use the Move Mailbox wizard, it doesn't show up their either. It ONLY shows up on the Exchange dialog box to create an Exchange mailbox. There are no traces of Exchange 5.5 I can find anywhere (no SRS, no ADC, the server has been off for over two years, etc., etc.) Where is this coming from, and how can I get rid of it? Any ideas?
